The project "wellnessHostel3000" comprises the renovation of the existing indoor swimming pool "Aua Grava" and the addition of a wellness area as well as the construction of a new youth hostel with around 170 beds. The new wellnessHostel 3000 by SSA Architects is located between the existing buildings from the early 1980s, a school and the existing indoor swimming pool. The heart of the entire complex is the reception area high above the street at the level of the indoor swimming pool roof. This area is accessed on the street side by an attractive, multi-level cascading staircase. The modern new building is made of concrete combined with light wood and large windows. The rooms and lobby are furnished with Vitra furniture and decorative energy-efficient design lights that invite a welcoming atmosphere to the space, gently illuminating the building and contributing to a modern and attractive atmosphere. A special jewel in this regard is the colored lighting in the wellness area with its object lights, which give the premises its specific character. The eye-catching design luminaires are complemented by functional luminaires that recede in appearance and modulate and illuminate the architecture in an energy-saving manner.
